Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church, Seguin, accepts a GVEC Power Up grant for $20,000. The church will use the grant to help renovate the old Juan Seguin Elementary School’s library building. The new facility will be named “La Casita de Alegría”—The House of Joy—and will serve as a multipurpose community-event and hosting center, available for various uses by residents, organizations and groups.

Since the first grant distribution in 2012, more than $3.5 million in grants have helped fund 221 community projects benefitting GVEC members and citizens in communities GVEC serves. These projects range from the purchase of life-saving equipment for first responders
and medical facilities to the renovation of local museums, parks, historic places, and community meeting spaces. Tammy Thompson, GVEC senior marketing and communications manager, says the grant continues strong with eight more nonprofit organizations receiving approximately $137,399.17 in grants. She says these grants, which provide funding assistance for community projects, are made possible by the generous

In the most recent round of distributions, Thompson says Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church and the Guadalupe Valley Family Violence Shelter have both been awarded funding.
